This ancient tale has been re-written as a hero-poem and illustrated by C. R. Bryan in 200 drawings. This volume is the first of two. Each quatrain is placed with a drawing. C. R. Bryan is an artist and author who loves old lore and delights in reshaping stories with images and music for pleasure. He hopes you are pleased with this.
